House Republicans may want to look at the new Gallup poll

Just a month ago, Gallup reported that 47% of the public viewed the Democratic Party favorably, while 38% viewed the Republican Party favorably. In light of the government shutdown, those numbers have taken somewhat of a hit, as Democrats' favorable rating is down to 43% and Republicans' favorable rating is all the way down to 28% - its lowest rating for either party since Gallup starting asking that question in 1992. As far as unfavorables go, Democrats are at 49% and Republicans are at 62%.

House Republicans may want to look at this before sending this country to default over Obamacare. Let's look at these numbers again:

Democrats: 43% favorable/49% unfavorable (net -6%)

Republicans: 28% favorable/62% unfavorable (net -34%)

Looking at those numbers, the Democratic Party is like the Houston Texans - 2-3, disappointed, but cognizant they still have a shot, and extremely grateful they're not the 0-5 New York Giants (the Republican Party). We'll have to wait and see how many more times John Boehner turns the ball over before he gets his act together. One thing seems for certain, though - no matter how many times he and his ilk blame the shutdown on President Obama and Democrats, the public isn't buying it.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
